Emerance Maschmeyer is an accomplished Canadian goaltender from Bruderheim, Alberta, who developed through boys’ hockey before playing at Harvard University. With Harvard, she became the program’s all-time leader in saves with 2,538 and earned three consecutive First Team All-Ivy League selections from 2014–2016. She also represented Canada at the 2012 IIHF U18 Women’s World Championship, helping Canada win gold. 

Maschmeyer established herself as a standout on the international stage with Canada’s National Women’s Team. She has won eight IIHF Women’s World Championship medals—three gold, four silver and one bronze—including gold in 2021, 2022 and 2024. At the 2016 World Championship, she was named the tournament’s best goaltender. She made her Olympic debut at Beijing 2022, appearing in two games and helping Canada capture gold. 

A pioneer in the professional women’s game, Maschmeyer was one of the first three players signed by the Ottawa Charge when the PWHL was established. During the 2024–25 season, she became the first goaltender in PWHL history to record 1,000 regular-season saves. She later joined the expansion Vancouver Goldeneyes, and in 2026 returned to the Olympics, appearing in three games as Canada won the silver medal at Milano Cortina. Through 2026, Maschmeyer’s résumé includes two Olympic medals and eight World Championship medals, cementing her place among Canada’s accomplished goaltenders.
